This is important to make Emacs attractive to more programmers.
I was shocked today when I observed as an unskilled novice programmer
wrote a small library at high speed using an IDE. I'm usually very fast
at using a large set of Emacs commands, but could hardly achieve this
performance because Emacs lacks many useful IDE features that make
programmers more productive.
Adding the attractive features of IDE is exactly the sort of work I
think we should aim to do. That is why I ask people to stop proposing
incompatible changes in basic editing commands. What makes IDEs
convenient is not the details of their editing commands, it is the
other capabilities they have.
